The banner has been raised, the passport has been stamped and finally it is time for football.
A loaded Sunday schedule with 13 games awaits after a wonky pair of games to kick off Week 1. A Wednesday kickoff in Seattle saw the Seahawks battle back without Sam Darnold to defeat the New England Patriots in a Super Bowl rematch
. Thursday, technically Friday morning in Melbourne, saw the league's first game in Australia.And after all of that, it brings us to the day when football was meant to be played.

There are start/sit decisions to be made and a pair of witching hours that loom in our future.
